This bill mandates the Department of Transportation to install sound barriers along specific segments of the F.E. Everett Turnpike in Merrimack, New Hampshire. The sound barriers will be constructed on the west side of the turnpike southbound, southwest of Interchange 12, covering neighborhoods such as Roundtree Drive, Davis Road, Vista Way, Ministerial Drive, Weston Road, and Kittridge Lane. Additionally, barriers will be erected on the west side of the turnpike southbound, northwest of Interchange 12, including areas like Back River Road, Bradford Drive, Belmont Drive, Raymond Drive, Small Lane, and Brookfield Drive. The bill specifies that the act will take effect upon its passage.

The estimated cost for the installation of these sound barriers is approximately $7,200,000, which will be funded through the Turnpike Fund. The breakdown of costs includes around $3,300,000 for the Roundtree Drive neighborhood and approximately $3,900,000 for the Back River Road neighborhood. Notably, the bill does not provide any specific funding or appropriations to cover these costs, and it is projected that there will be no revenue generated from this bill in the fiscal years 2025 through 2028.
